Taskbar Tips

Need to shut down two or three open programs quickly, but leave the rest running? Hold down the CTRL key as you click their buttons on the taskbar. Then, right-click (still holding down the CTRL key) one of those depressed buttons and select “Close” from the resulting menu. Poof! They’re all gone!

Note: There are other functions you can do, too! You can also minimize, maximize, restore, cascade, or tile these windows using this technique. Cool huh?
